MLP G5 Discussion and Speculation Thread

09MurphyM

I’ve said this before, but the most likely scenario is that G5 is a brand new story and universe and even if characters like Starlight glimmer still get added to the show, they will likely have brand new personalities and backstories.

So, if anyone is still subscribed-Twilight without unicorn magic.
 
We know all ponies will have a bit more in the ma7gic department as a whole, but Twi it seems will be left out of the versatility of unicorns’ form of it.
 
Be honest: how much does much and varied magic mean to her as a character? I could hardly imagine her without it while still remaining in her native setting, but I’ve seen it argued a few times magic was never a big deal to her character.
 
Thoughts?

I think that, while magic is a large part of Twilight’s character, it isn’t entirely essential to the core of her character. Sure, it would still take quite a bit of work to adapt her character from G4 into an earth pony for G5, but G5 Twilight will be a new character altogether, so they won’t necessarily have to do that in the first place. For instance, just look at how different Rainbow Dash in G4 is from her G3 incarnation.

I don’t like them recycling the mane six because I know I’m going to watch the new show and I don’t want to have to remember which Twilight Sparkle said what and which Applejack did this and which show it was all on.

As many have said before, this reboot is similar to what they’ve done with Transformers in the past  
It’ll be manageable enough for me; I just hope G5 ends up being at least watchable and decently entertaining

so you think Tara Strong, Ashleigh Ball, Andrea Libman & Tabitha St Germain will reprise there roles?

I speculate the recent closure of TRU will cause Hasbro to play it safe and make G5 a film only thing, keeping FIM & EQG around for a bit longer on the side as a safety net just in case the first film bombs.
 
And pony is kind of already a multiverse anyway, no reason you can’t have 3 versions, they have like half a dozen version of transformers out on the market at times. Plus better to have your cake and eat it too then lose everything if things don’t pan out.
 
But yea it’ll really all depend on how that first G5 film does overall that will determine the future of the franchise.

I think just the opposite. TRU died because of financial issues specific to TRU. They were successful as a toy store. Very successful. Just not impossibly successful to the point where a company with a $6B net worth could survive $400,000,000 a year to service a $5.6B debt load. They were probably about a quarter or so of Hasbro’s business. Some of their rather healthy income will naturally migrate to Target and Walmart without help, but some of it will need a push. I think they’re going to stretch to make a good G5, because the total repayment of moving even a fraction more of TRU’s former MLP business to Target and Walmart will likely exceed the cost of the show.
